The Bartender's Handshake offers a nice happy hour with a gorgeous aesthetic and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and attentive, which makes the experience enjoyable. The bar is small, cozy, and dimly lit, featuring creative and delicious cocktails alongside non-alcoholic beverages that rival the complexity of the regular cocktail menu. Customers appreciate the help in choosing cocktails, especially for those new to high-end drinks. Many have found the Vacation Email to be a great choice, as it is good without being overly sweet. This bar feels like home, with a unique atmosphere that blends elements of style and comfort. It is a go-to spot for interesting cocktails mixed in with classic options, and with great service, it is easy for customers to find a seat if they arrive at the right time.
